technical is easy. couple of logical number series questions. An easy program like fibonacci series. C questions - difference between goto , short jump, long jump. Couple of oops questions. Final Year project related questions. HR round was very interactive and fun. She asked about myself and why I would want to join. Am I willing to relocate. MY favorite cricketer and why. We had a common interest in music. SO , we talked about it for sometime. By the end of it, I knew I had nailed it. ;)
